batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructure The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality information through the whole mesh. This procedure is summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in details in the RFC draft published in 2008. This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it also bears some drawbacks: * Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss, therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow a fast reaction on flaky connections. Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce overhead. * It generally is more desirable to detect local link quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of the mesh does not need to care about local link quality changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time. As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these link quality information and determining the overall path transmit qualities.

batman-adv: network coding - add the initial infrastructure code Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay. In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one from Node B to Node A: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B 4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves us one slot of valuable airtime: 1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B 2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B 3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D, respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save one transmission: Node A Node B | \ / | | p1 p2 | | \ / | p1 > Node R < p2 | | | / \ | | p1 x p2 p1 x p2 | v / \ v / \ Node C < > Node D More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1]. This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

batman-adv: Add multicast optimization support for bridged setups With this patch we are finally able to support multicast optimizations in bridged setups, too. So far, if a bridge was added on top of a soft-interface (e.g. bat0) the batman-adv multicast optimizations needed to be disabled to avoid packetloss. Current Linux bridge implementations and API can now provide us with the so far missing information about interested but "remote" multicast receivers behind bridge ports. The Linux bridge performs the detection of remote participants interested in multicast packets with its own and mature so called IGMP and MLD snooping code and stores that in its database. With the new API provided by the bridge batman-adv can now simply hook into this database. We then reliably announce the gathered multicast listeners to other nodes through the batman-adv translation table. Additionally, the Linux bridge provides us with the information about whether an IGMP/MLD querier exists. If there is none then we need to disable multicast optimizations as we cannot learn about multicast listeners on external, bridged-in host then.

This makes it possible to interact with them using the existing userspace tools. The tracepoint batadv:batadv_dbg will now be available when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG and CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_TRACING is activated. The log level mask is still used for filtering as usual. A full system trace for offline parsing can be created (and read) using: $ batctl ll all $ trace-cmd record -e batadv:batadv_dbg $ trace-cmd report The same can also be done without recording to a file $ batctl ll all $ trace-cmd stream -e batadv:batadv_dbg The trace infrastructure is especially helpful when tracing processes: $ batctl ll all $ ./tools/perf/perf trace --event "batadv:*" batctl p 10.204.32.1 0.000 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 Parsing outgoing ARP REQUEST 0.045 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 ARP MSG = [src: a2:64:14:53:f8:22-10.204.32.185 dst: 00:00:00:00:00:00-10.204.32.1] 0.067 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 Entry updated: 10.204.32.185 a2:64:14:53:f8:22 (vid: -1) 0.099 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 batadv_dat_select_candidates(): IP=10.204.32.1 hash(IP)=48902 0.757 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 dat_select_candidates() 0: selected fe:2c:91:68:29:2b addr=48977 dist=65460 1.178 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 dat_select_candidates() 1: selected fe:81:ab:c5:e3:03 addr=49181 dist=65256 1.809 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 dat_select_candidates() 2: selected 66:25:a7:48:37:fb addr=49328 dist=65109 1.828 batadv:batadv_dbg:batman_adv bat0 DHT_SEND for 10.204.32.1 Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

This is an option for use by developers; most people should
say N here. Select this option to gather traces like the debug
messages using the generic tracing infrastructure of the kernel.
BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG must also be selected to get trace events for
batadv_dbg.
